Dream

46

"Okay pa ba ang lahat? Sorry I speak in tagalog. Pansin ko kasi halos karamihan naman na nandito ay pinoy."

The crowd are laughing because of him. I wonder kung gaano na ba sila kasikat. Pinalitan nila ang pangalan ng band nila at mukhang sa bagong pangalan sila nakilala. Ganoon pa rin ang itsura ni Archie, si Elijah naman ay ganoon rin, mas gumwapo pa nga ata. Naroon pa rin sila TJ at Maki na drummer at pianist nila noon. Nadagdagan pa sila ng isang guitarist. Mukhang malayo na ang narating nila dahil kilala na sila ng mga tao.

"This was our second guesting in international, at masayang masaya kami dahil palaging mainit ang pagtanggap sa amin. Nag uumpisa palang kami pero tignan niyo naman kung gaano na kayo karami." The crowd are clapping for them.

Natutuwa ako dahil pinagpatuloy niya pa rin ang mga gusto niyang gawin kahit na iniwan ko siya. Siya pa rin yung Elijah na kilala ko na alam ang gusto at gagawin niya.

"My next song is about expressing a longing for a deep and meaningful connection with someone. It's my story actually, who dreams of forever with this person, of being able to love until the sun rises and sets. However, as much as I want this dream to become reality, I acknowledges that it may just be a dream. Hanggang pangarap lang pala siya."

Hindi ko alam kung bakit kumirot ang puso ko sa sinabi niya. Is that a song for me again? Ano bang ibig sabihin niya? At bakit ba naiisip ko pa na gagawa siya ng kanta tungkol sakin? Tungkol samin? Gosh! Im so delusional!

"I wanna know why I'm alone in my car
I wanna know why we're a thousand miles apart
Cause I thought of forever with you and me
And I thought that you'd never ever wanna leave
when I look at you my heart my skips a beat
You're my weakness,"

Why did he looks so in pain while singing the song? Tungkol ba yon samin? Kami ba ang tinutukoy niya sa kanta niyang yon?

" I wanna love you til the sun rises
In the morning where I see the sun shining
On your face and I won't leave til it's just you and me.
But it's all a dream."

My eyes were so wide while I was staring at him. Hindi ko alam ang dapat kong maramdaman. And the crowd was so attached, maybe because the song was written out of his own experience.

"Ang pogi pala niya?" I looked at Rye when she noticed Elijah, "Beb sino yung vocalist? Diba kakilala mo?" Tumingin din ako kay Eros, na inaantay ang sagot niya.

Oo nga pala, magkakilala sila. At kapag binanggit ni Eros ang pangalan ni Elijah, sure akong may maaalala si Rye. Pangalan lang ang alam niya sa ex ko pero malakas ang kutob niya. Malakas din ang kutob ko na makikilala niya agad si Elijah.

"Si Elay,"

Parang nakahinga ako ng maluwag ng sabihin yon ni Eros. Hindi ko alam kung bakit Elay ang alam niyang pangalan ni Elijah. Siguro dahil iyon ang nick name niya noong bata pa siya.

"Alam niyo po ba yung kanta ng rivermaya na You'll be safe here? Nainlove ako sa kantang yon dati e, because I was so deep inlove before,"
